Xie Yu called Bian Wu out again.
Liu Shitou and Liu Xiaomian, brother and sister, followed Zhu Wenyan as usual, and the three of them picked cotton while chatting and laughing.
Hua Baoer and Hua Xiyu arrived the latest. As soon as Hua Baoer came, Bai Shu started looking after the children again.
After Zhao Tieniang sent Zhao Xiaofu to the compound, she also carried a basket to help pick cotton. Zhao Xiaofu sat in a wheelchair and helped operate the cotton gin in the compound to remove the seeds from the cotton.
Ever since Madam Nie drank the new prescription sent from Qingzhou, she has been obviously much better, and Zhang Dandan has also dared to show up.
It happened that Zhang Dandan came out to help with the cotton picking this time, and thanked Song Yuehua by the way, "Sister Song, Aunt Nie's condition has improved a lot."

"Just follow Madam Nie's wishes."

As soon as the news came out, the village was in an uproar, and many people ran to Dongshan that night.
Song Yuehua also knew about it, because Zhou Ergui came to tell her before he got off work.
This is clearly poaching.
Zhou Ergui asked, "Daya, what are you going to do?"
Song Yuehua said, "If he has the money to build it, then let him build it."
